Figured out why my auto level didn't work...

OK, so I have been having problems with my auto level for a while now and I must have thrown tens of dollars at the problem, all to no avail. I finally broke down and bought the correct "T" fitting for the airlift tube (1/4" as opposed to the stock 1/8") and hooked everything up. Pressurized the bags with 35PSI from the compressor to verify...... all good! WOOHOO!!

Hook up the stock tube and go to bed feeling proud of myself that I actually used proper parts (3 way vacuum "T" with RTV is NOT the correct way to do things it seems..)

Woke up this morning and......... DAMN! flat again! OK, pressurize the stock lines to troubleshoot THAT section and..... wait, no pressure. Won't even take pressure.....

Now I know why...










Guess I'm off to AZ for some new vacuum line........


BTW, does this fitting NEED a hose?

OK, I bench tested the compressor and found this:

Air comes out of the fitting in the first pic.

NOTHING comes out of the fitting for the air line that goes to the airbags.

With the hoses replaced, the fittings in the pics 1,2, and 4 are all connected, and the canister in #4 is open to the air.


Something isn't right. If the desiccant tank is plugged, would this cause the outcome?


I need help here, I need this car to work an pull a trailer tomorrow morning......

Pop open the "crankcase" and make sure it didn't throw a rod. I had the solenoid that release the air seize open on my RMW. I bought a used unit off the forum to fix that.

Am I the only one thinking manual fill valve?

I like the idea of not having to carry around another compressor. The factory setup is smart. Does everything for me.
